Levi thought to himself that perhaps he could find the answer to Hera's origins by looking at her history.

Hearing this, Hera nodded and continued:

"As I said, I have been like this since I became conscious."

"Therefore, trying to find out where I came from is of almost no help."

However, Hera finally spoke:

"I woke up in the abyss of monsters."

These words shocked the two of them once again.

Vladimir, in particular, even stood up and took a step back.

They watched Hera warily, fearing she might transform into a monster and attack them.

The Demon Abyss in the south is infamous, from which countless demons emerge.

Even the current crisis of the empire is due to the lack of proper control over the demonic abyss rift in the south, which has caused a large number of demons to overflow.

Unexpectedly, Hera woke up from the abyss of monsters.

"I woke up in a spider's nest."

As a well-informed monk, Levi began to ponder deeply upon hearing this.

The spider's nest appears to fit Hera's leg.

Hera then continued:

"The spiders there are about the same size as humans, yet they see me as one of their own,"

"They won't attack me, and they'll even give me food."

"Of course, those foods were all made from the flesh of living monsters."

She showed absolutely no resistance when she said this.

It seems that deep down she doesn't consider herself human.

Levi fell into deep thought, pondering the spider-like monsters in that abyss of monsters.

They are similar in size to humans and even have the ability to prey on magical beasts.

He immediately had a guess in his mind and said directly:

"Could it be the [Chongsi Demon Spider]?"

Hera smiled upon hearing this, confirming his guess:

"Your Excellency is indeed very knowledgeable,"

"That's right, you Imperials do indeed call them the [Heir-Slaying Spiders]."

These monsters exist in the Demon Abyss; they feed on the flesh and blood of other monsters and sometimes even prey on humans who enter it.

Moreover, this monster has unique breeding habits that differ from other monsters.

They mate, and after mating, the female spider eats the male she mates with.

It is said that in order to make up for the lack of nutrition during reproduction, they eat males to cultivate offspring that are stronger than their fathers.

They are a type of magical beast obsessed with raising offspring.

"Therefore, I also inherited their ideas."

Hera spoke these words calmly, but they sent a chill down the spines of Vladimir and Rivi.

Their gazes turned to Viktor simultaneously, a hint of sympathy in their eyes.

No wonder Hera always wanted to have children with Victor, but Victor always refused.

After use, it will be eaten as food. Who would dare to accept that?

Seeing their reaction, Hera quickly explained:

"Of course, that's the habit of the [Heir-Bearing Demon Spider]."

In order to produce the strongest offspring, these spiders are not picky eaters at all.

They might even drag powerful male demons from outside back to breed with them, and sometimes they don't even spare humans.

These are used as reproductive tools by them, and after they are used up, they are eaten, which is delicious.

They continuously give birth to offspring and nurture their descendants, without end.

All for the sake of producing the 'strongest' offspring.

"But I am different; I still possess human thought."

Hera gazed intently at Victor and confessed:

"I am only willing to choose someone stronger than myself as my partner, and only him."

“If I were to have children with someone stronger than me, I would naturally not harm my partner.”

She didn't continue, but Rivi and Vladimir already understood what she meant.

After all, she couldn't beat Viktor.

Instead of thinking about devouring the other person, it's more realistic to find a way to squeeze them dry.

Vladimir and Rivi exchanged glances.

Although they did understand Hera's thoughts, they were still horrified by this habit.

And most importantly...

Those eight spider legs, I doubt anyone could accept that.

The two shifted their gaze slightly to the side, only to see that Viktor's expression was calm, as if he was still thinking.

It looked as if he was considering what Hera had said.

Upon seeing this, Levi's expression immediately turned strange.

Could it be that Viktor has a particular fondness for this particular type?

At that moment, Levi suddenly had an idea.

The Clevina family has trained countless demi-humans!

Inside the Demon Tower, he even caught a fox and stayed with it for an unknown amount of time.

And most importantly, Victor also keeps a crow!

hiss……

Reeve had a feeling that he had discovered something extraordinary.

When Erica returns, we must warn her that she must never go near Victor again!

At this moment, Viktor, who was standing next to him, nodded as if he had thought it through.

"I know pretty much everything I need to know."

Hera's eyes widened when she saw Viktor nod.

The patterns in his pupils suddenly began to tremble, and even his voice rose several octaves:

"So you're prepared to accept..."

"But I refuse."

Viktor's formal refusal caused Hera's face to turn several shades paler, and her body trembled slightly.

Revi and Vladimir were not particularly surprised by this.

Rather, it would be absurd if Viktor actually accepted it.

At this point, Viktor continued:

"That's just your instinct. You don't actually like me, and you don't even understand me."

"You just want to raise offspring and complete your reproductive needs."

Viktor's gaze was deep as he met Hera's kaleidoscopic and mysterious eyes.

"Because your name is 'Hera'."

"For Hera, procreation is a mission of paramount importance."
